Marion returned from overseas seven dayster.

In those few days, rumors about his and Debra''s failing marriage had reached a fever pitch.

Some said Debra had be numb to the idea of marriage, spending every day with hot escorts. Others imed that she had secretly been keeping a toy boy at home and that she had started a romantic rtionship with Jordan.

All kinds of topics about her flooded the inte.

At noon, Debra came downstairs from the second floor, biting into a piece of bread as she looked at her phone,ughing so hard she could hardly stop.

"Someone calls you a homewrecker. Want to see it?" she said, handing her phone to him.fn9358 For more chapters visit find{n}ovel/fn9358

It had to be said, this generation ofizens knew how to dig up dirt.

Many imed to be students from Arcane Academy, fully aware of the rtionship between Debra and Jordan. They uncovered old photos from two years ago when the two often hung out together and even that famous picture of Debraing out of a nightclub, wearing Jordan''s clothes.

Back then, the PR teams from the Potter and Nichols families had sessfully suppressed the news. Now it had resurfaced.

Once these kinds of rumors spread, it seemed like everything had a clear exnation.

Jordan was not amused at all. "You''ve had your fun these days. Isn''t it time you gave me an exnation?"

Even with all the chaos happening outside, Debra wasn''t worried, and neither had she asked him to take down the news. Instead, she let the spection run wild.

"I''ve told you everything," she said, sitting on the couch.

She went on to scroll through the news until one headline caught her attention. It said that Marion wasing back to find her.

Jordan sat down across from her. "Marion''s back in the country. Don''t you think it''s time you figured out how to face him?"

The smile on Debra''s face faded. "I don''t have to."

"I know you''re letting the rumors spread to make the Illuminati think you and Marion are done for good," Jordan said, his tone serious. "But when Marion stands in front of you, can you really pretend to be strangers and go as far as to hurt him?"

He looked at her earnestly. "If you want me to intervene, I''ll find a way to make sure the Illuminati doesn''t know the truth."

"Marion must have his reasons for acting the way he did. I can tell myself he''s doing it out of fear of losing me, but until he says it himself, it''s all just my fantasy." Debra met his gaze. "Don''t worry, I''m fine."

"I believe you." Jordan stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"To live up to my reputation as a homewrecker."

...

At the airport, Marion stepped off the ne, looking tired but determined.

He''d never been one to disguise himself, and he had no idea how big the news about him and Debra had blown up back home.

As soon as he walked through the terminal, curious eyes followed him, and camera lenses directed at him.
